commit f6551527 upstream. In http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=597299, the vt6655 driver generates a kernel BUG on a NULL pointer dereference at NULL. This problem has been traced to a failure in the wpa_set_wpadev() routine. As the vt6656 driver does not call this routine, the vt6655 code is similarly set to skip the call. Signed-off-by:

commit e7971c80 upstream. The SH SOHARD ARCNET cards are implemented using generic PLX Technology PCI<->IOBus bridges. Subvendor and subdevice IDs were not specified, causing the driver to attach to any such bridge and likely crash the system by attempting to initialize an unrelated device. Fix by specifying subvendor and subdevice according to the values found in the PCI-ID Repository at http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/ . Signed-off-by:

commit 91885258 upstream. This is the second attempt to fix the problem whereby a COMMIT call causes a lease break and triggers a possible deadlock. The problem is that nfsd attempts to break a lease on a COMMIT call. This triggers a delegation recall if the lease is held for a delegation. If the client is the one holding the delegation and it's the same one on which it's issuing the COMMIT, then it can't return that delegation until the COMMIT is complete. But, nfsd won't complete the COMMIT until the delegation is returned. The client and server are essentially deadlocked until the state is marked bad (due to the client not responding on the callback channel). The first patch attempted to deal with this by eliminating the open of the file altogether and simply had nfsd_commit pass a NULL file pointer to the vfs_fsync_range. That would conflict with some work in progress by Christoph Hellwig to clean up the fsync interface, so this patch takes a different approach. This declares a new NFSD_MAY_NOT_BREAK_LEASE access flag that indicates to nfsd_open that it should not break any leases when opening the file, and has nfsd_commit set that flag on the nfsd_open call. For now, this patch leaves nfsd_commit opening the file with write access since I'm not clear on what sort of access would be more appropriate. Signed-off-by:

commit 15ddb4ae upstream. The /proc/fs/nfsd/versions file calls nfsd_vers() to check whether the particular nfsd version is present/available. The problem is that once I turn off e.g. NFSD-V4 this call returns -1 which is true from the callers POV which is wrong. The proposal is to report false in that case. The bug has existed since 6658d3a7 "[PATCH] knfsd: remove nfsd_versbits as intermediate storage for desired versions". Signed-off-by:

commit fa9dc265 upstream. Commit a45185d2 "cpumask: convert kernel/compat.c" broke libnuma, which abuses sched_getaffinity to find out NR_CPUS in order to parse /sys/devices/system/node/node*/cpumap. On NUMA systems with less than 32 possibly CPUs, the current compat_sys_sched_getaffinity now returns '4' instead of the actual NR_CPUS/8, which makes libnuma bail out when parsing the cpumap. The libnuma call sched_getaffinity(0, bitmap, 4096) at first. It mean the libnuma expect the return value of sched_getaffinity() is either len argument or NR_CPUS. But it doesn't expect to return nr_cpu_ids. Strictly speaking, userland requirement are 1) Glibc assume the return value mean the lengh of initialized of mask argument. E.g. if sched_getaffinity(1024) return 128, glibc make zero fill rest 896 byte. 2) Libnuma assume the return value can be used to guess NR_CPUS in kernel. It assume len-arg<NR_CPUS makes -EINVAL. But it try len=4096 at first and 4096 is always bigger than NR_CPUS. Then, if we remove strange min_length normalization, we never hit -EINVAL case. sched_getaffinity() already solved this issue. This patch adapts compat_sys_sched_getaffinity() to match the non-compat case. Signed-off-by:

commit e7ecd435 upstream. There are ATAPI devices which raise AN when hit by commands issued by open(). This leads to infinite loop of AN -> MEDIA_CHANGE uevent -> udev open() to check media -> AN. Both ACS and SerialATA standards don't define in which case ATAPI devices are supposed to raise or not raise AN. They both list media insertion event as a possible use case for ATAPI ANs but there is no clear description of what constitutes such events. As such, it seems a bit too naive to export ANs directly to userland as MEDIA_CHANGE events without further verification (which should behave similarly to windows as it apparently is the only thing that some hardware vendors are testing against). This patch adds libata.atapi_an module parameter and disables ATAPI AN by default for now. Signed-off-by:

commit 176306f5 upstream. Commit 1f36f774 broke FS_REVAL_DOT semantics. In particular, before this patch, the command ls -l in an NFS mounted directory would always check if the directory on the server had changed and if so would flush and refill the pagecache for the dir. After this patch, the same "ls -l" will repeatedly return stale date until the cached attributes for the directory time out. The following patch fixes this by ensuring the d_revalidate is called by do_last when "." is being looked-up. link_path_walk has already called d_revalidate, but in that case LOOKUP_OPEN is not set so nfs_lookup_verify_inode chooses not to do any validation. The following patch restores the original behaviour. Signed-off-by:

commit 050735b0 upstream. Both Stephane and Corey reported that PERF_FORMAT_GROUP didn't work as expected if the task the counters were attached to quit before the read() call. The cause is that we unconditionally destroy the grouping when we remove counters from their context. Fix this by splitting off the group destroy from the list removal such that perf_event_remove_from_context() does not do this and change perf_event_release() to do so. Reported-by:

commit c0555642 upstream. Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool and would therefore print out the usage information and terminate. This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is currently the only such example of this). I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints. The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN. Signed-off-by:

commit cb6e943c upstream. oprofile used a double buffer scheme for its cpu event buffer to avoid races on reading with the old locked ring buffer. But that is obsolete now with the new ring buffer, so simply use a single buffer. This greatly simplifies the code and avoids a lot of sample drops on large runs, especially with call graph. Based on suggestions from Steven Rostedt For stable kernels from v2.6.32, but not earlier. Signed-off-by:

commit 2623a1d5 upstream. This fixes a NULL pointer dereference that is triggered when taking a cpu offline after oprofile was initialized, e.g.: $ opcontrol --init $ opcontrol --start-daemon $ opcontrol --shutdown $ opcontrol --deinit $ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online See the crash dump below. Though the counter has been disabled the cpu notifier is still active and trying to use already freed counter data. This fix is for linux-stable. To proper fix this, the hotplug code must be rewritten. Thus I will leave a WARN_ON_ONCE() message with this patch.

Now we have a set of nested attributes: IFLA_VFINFO_LIST (NESTED) IFLA_VF_INFO (NESTED) IFLA_VF_MAC IFLA_VF_VLAN IFLA_VF_TX_RATE This allows a single set to operate on multiple attributes if desired. Among other things, it means a dump can be replayed to set state. The current interface has yet to be released, so this seems like something to consider for 2.6.34.

TCP MD5 support uses percpu data for temporary storage. It currently disables preemption so that same storage cannot be reclaimed by another thread on same cpu. We also have to make sure a softirq handler wont try to use also same context. Various bug reports demonstrated corruptions. Fix is to disable preemption and BH. Reported-by:

In the FPU emulator code of the MIPS, the Cause bits of the FCSR register are not currently writeable by the ctc1 instruction. In odd corner cases, this can cause problems. For example, a case existed where a divide-by-zero exception was generated by the FPU, and the signal handler attempted to restore the FPU registers to their state before the exception occurred. In this particular setup, writing the old value to the FCSR register would cause another divide-by-zero exception to occur immediately. The solution is to change the ctc1 instruction emulator code to allow the Cause bits of the FCSR register to be writeable. This is the behaviour of the hardware that the code is emulating. This problem was found by Shane McDonald, but the credit for the fix goes to Kevin Kissell. In Kevin's words: I submit that the bug is indeed in that ctc_op: case of the emulator. The Cause bits (17:12) are supposed to be writable by that instruction, but the CTC1 emulation won't let them be updated by the instruction. I think that actually if you just completely removed lines 387-388 [...] things would work a good deal better. At least, it would be a more accurate emulation of the architecturally defined FPU. If I wanted to be really, really pedantic (which I sometimes do), I'd also protect the reserved bits that aren't necessarily writable.

1) i_flags simply doesn't work for mount/unlink race prevention; we may have many links to file and rm on one of those obviously shouldn't prevent bind on top of another later on. To fix it right way we need to mark _dentry_ as unsuitable for mounting upon; new flag (DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT) is protected by d_flags and i_mutex on the inode in question. Set it (with dont_mount(dentry)) in unlink/rmdir/etc., check (with cant_mount(dentry)) in places in namespace.c that used to check for S_DEAD. Setting S_DEAD is still needed in places where we used to set it (for directories getting killed), since we rely on it for readdir/rmdir race prevention. 2) rename()/mount() protection has another bogosity - we unhash the target before we'd checked that it's not a mountpoint. Fixed. 3) ancient bogosity in pivot_root() - we locked i_mutex on the right directory, but checked S_DEAD on the different (and wrong) one. Noticed and fixed. Signed-off-by: -
